The Monday Morning Memo

Jefferson Eisenberg sent this to our attention. I like it. You’ll like it, too, I think.
The song – Bohemian Rhapsody – changes character several times – as you know – but these kids pull it off, up, and over, astoundingly well.

Worthless Bastard Worldwide President Plenipotentiary Tom Grimes cast a dissenting vote, however:

“Amazing singers … but … but … but … have never cared for the damn angst ridden song … sorry, know it’s a ‘classic,’ but it still sounds like it came right off of a Broadway show that closed early … It ain’t my brand of Rock-n-Roll… I like my Rock to Roll like the thunder, thunder from a hard drum beat  … and rock with lightning licks squealing off a lead guitar … and a voice with a bad attitude that roars out of rusty vocal cords seasoned with sand, smoke and whiskey … and when it’s over you have an urge to break something.”

“The Nobodies

Fleas dream of buying themselves a dog, and nobodies dream of escaping poverty: that, one magical day, good luck will suddenly rain down on them – will rain down in buckets. But good luck doesn’t rain down, yesterday, today, tomorrow or ever. Good luck doesn’t even fall in a fine drizzle, no matter how hard the nobodies summon it, even if their left hand is tickling, or if they begin the new day on their right foot, or start the new year with a change of brooms.

The nobodies: nobody’s children, owners of nothing. The nobodies: the no-ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way.
Who are not, but could be. Who don’t speak languages, but dialects. Who don’t have religions, but superstitions. Who don’t create art, but handicrafts. Who don’t have culture, but folklore. Who are not human beings, but human resources. Who do not have faces, but arms. Who do not have names, but numbers. Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the crime reports of the local paper. The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.”

- Eduardo Galeano
